pe_geoxyzcs_to_string

Creates a string representation of the geocentric coordinate system

Usage syntax

void pe_geoxyzcs_to_string (PE_GEOXYZCS geoxyzcs, char buffer[PE_BUFFER_MAX]);

Parameters
geoxyzcs The geocentric coordinate system object
buffer The string representation of the object
Description

This function creates a string representation of the geocentric coordinate system object in the format: GEOXYZCS[\"geoxyzcs_name\",GEOXYZCS["geoxyzcs_name",DATUM["name",SPHEROID["name",axis,1/f]], PRIMEM["name",longitude],UNIT["angularunit_name",conversion factor]],UNIT["linearunit_name",conversion factor]]

A geocentric coordinate system is a 3D Cartesian system. The X axis lies in the plane of the equator and points in the direction of the prime meridian (usually Greenwich). The Y axis is 90 degrees away in the plane of the equator, and the Z axis points north in a right-handed system.

Note: Currently, geocentric coordinate systems are not supported by the ArcSDE or ArcGIS software.

Returns

None
